I am so grateful for our bishops who dare to stand against the current and speak the truth with firmness and conviction! New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan is one of them, and I imagine he’ll take some blows (figuratively speaking, hopefully) for his decree. Our bishops need our ardent prayers. Perhaps today we can take a minute – or two – and invoke the intercession and protection of Mary for our shepherds.

Quote of the Day

Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to
your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving
better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in
your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.
